CHARLES  HENRY  SEDGWICK 


HISTORICAL 


T*wo  hundred  and  seventy-seven  years  ago,  in 
*  1643,  General  Robert  Sedgwick  and  John 

Winthrop,  Jr.,  established  the  first  furnace 
and  iron  works  in  America  at  Lynn,  Mass. 

(Harper’s  Encyclopaedia  of  United  States  History) 

For  ten  generations  the  Sedgwicks  have  con¬ 
tinued  in  the  craft,  devising  and  fashioning  from 
metal  and  wood  those  machines  and  mechanical 
devices  which  have  contributed  so  largely  to  the 
wonderful  progress  of  the  LInited  States,  hand¬ 
ing  down  from  father  to  son  the  skill  and  ex¬ 
perience  accumulated  during  more  than  two 
and  a  half  centuries  of  conscientious  effort. 

In  1844,  Charles  Henry  Sedgwick,  whose 
likeness  (from  an  old  photograph)  is  reproduced 
on  the  opposite  page,  and  who  was  the  seventh 
direct  descendant  of  General  Robert  Sedgwick, 
brought  the  business  to  Poughkeepsie,  N.  Y., 
our  present  location. 

In  1893,  Alonzo  Sedgwick,  son  of  Charles 
Henry  Sedgwick,  associated  with  Justus  Inger- 
soll  Wakelee,  erected  a  new  plant  and  concen¬ 
trated  their  united  energies  on  the  manufacture 
of  Hand  Power  Elevators  and  Dumb  Waiters. 

The  business  was  incorporated  Sept.  I,  1913, 
under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  New  York,  with 
Justus  Ingersoll  Wakelee  as  President  and  Gen¬ 
eral  Manager,  and  Dwight  Robert  Sedgwick, 
son  of  Alonzo  Sedgwick,  as  Treasurer  and 
Factory  Manager.

INTRODUCTION 

Herein  are  illustrated  leading  types  of  Sedg¬ 
wick  Hand  Power  Elevators  and  Dumb 
Waiters  for  all  purposes. 

Satisfactory  results  from  the  installation  of 
Hand  Power  Elevators  and  Dumb  Waiters 
depend  upon  the  selection  of  outfits  suitable  to 
the  conditions  and  requirements,  and  upon 
proper  installation. 

We  are,  and  for  nearly  thirty  years  have  been, 
specialists  in  Dumb  Waiters  and  Hand  Power 
Elevators;  we  invite  correspondence,  and  take 
personal  interest  in  making  recommendations 
which  shall  enable  our  customers  to  secure  the 
best  possible  results. 

Estimates  on  outfits  installed  complete  in 
running  order,  submitted  on  request. 

The  name  “Sedgwick”  is  registered  in  the 
United  States  Patent  Office  as  our  Trade-Mark, 
and  purchasers  of  Dumb  Waiters  and  Elevators 
bearing  this  Trade-Mark  can  depend  upon 
having  outfits  which  are  strong,  durable,  easy 
running  and  satisfactory. 

The  well-known  superiority  of  the  “Sedgwick” 
Elevators  and  EXimb  Waiters  is  due  both  to  the 
carefully  selected,  high-grade  material  used 
exclusively  in  their  manufacture,  and  to  im¬ 
provements  —  many  of  them  patented  —  in 
principle,  design,  workmanship  and  finish. 

Sedgwick  Dumb  Waiter  Machines  are 
guaranteed  for  five  years  and  will  be  repaired 
free  of  charge  during  that  time  if  returned  to  the 
factory  at  Poughkeepsie,  N.  Y.,  express  prepaid.

DUMB  WAITER  CARS 


nrhe  Sedgwick  Dumb  Waiter  Cars  are  made 
*  of  selected  Hardwood,  seasoned  under 
sheds  in  the  open  air,  and  kiln  dried 
before  working. 

The  Cars  furnished  with  Sedgwick  Automatic 
Brake  Outfits  and  Sedgwick  Band  Brake  Outfits 
are  handsomely  finished,  the  wood  being  first 
filled  and  then  varnished  two  coats  of  best 
varnish. 

Dumb  Waiter  Cars  are  carried  in  stock  in 
sizes,  listed  on  page  7,  fitted  either  with  one 
hinged  shelf  or  two  solid  shelves,  in  addition 
to  the  top  and  bottOTn. 

Dumb  Waiter  Cars  fitted  with  one  hinged 
shelf  are,  for  the  No.  I  size,  30  inches  high  in¬ 
side;  for  the  Nos.  2,  3  and  4  sizes,  36  inches 
high  inside.  Dumb  Waiter  Cars  fitted  with  two 
solid  shelves  are  regularly  6  inches  higher. 

The  outside  or  over-all  height  of  Dumb 
Waiter  Cars  is  about  6  inches  greater  than  the 
inside  heights  given  in  the  above  paragraph. 

We  recommend  the  fitting  of  Double-Face 
Cars  with  solid  shelves,  when  possible,  as  the 
solid  shelves  give  additional  strength  and 
rigidity  to  the  Car. 

Dumb  Waiter  Cars  are  regularly  shipped 
assembled  and  crated,  but  will  be  shipped 
knocked-down,  upon  request. 

Door  openings  of  sufficient  size  to  admit  the 
Car  into  the  well  must  always  be  provided  until 
after  the  outfit  is  installed.  If  sufficiently  large 
openings  to  admit  the  assembled  Car  are  not 
provided,  it  is  necessary  to  build  Cars  of  special 
design,  which  may  be  assembled  inside  the  well. 
This  makes  additional  expense  and  heavier  Cars. 


STEEL  CARS  furnished  where  desired  at  an  addi¬ 
tional  price.

AUTOMATIC  BRAKE 

DUMB  WAITER  MACHINES 


The  Sedgwick  Automatic  Brake  Dumb 
Waiter  Machines  are  a  great  improvement 
over  all  Automatic  Lock  and  other  Self- 
Retaining  Machines,  and  are  especially  designed 
for  purchasers  who  consider  just  as  carefully 
what  they  are  getting,  as  what  they  are 
paying. 

The  Automatic  Brake  is  independently  sup¬ 
ported,  thus  relieving  the  machine  of  all  end 
thrust,  strain,  and  unnecessary  wear. 

The  Brake  does  not  lock  fast,  but  is  applied 
and  regulated  by  the  load,  holding  the  car 
securely  at  any  point,  allowing  it  to  be  raised 
and  lowered  smoothly  and  easily  without  the 
jumping  and  jarring  common  to  all  other  Auto¬ 
matic  Dumb  Waiters. 

These  Machines  are  superior  in  principle, 
design,  construction,  and  finish,  and  are  un¬ 
equalled  for  durability  and  safety. 

They  are  manufactured  in  large  quantities 
with  special  tools,  insuring  the  greatest  ac¬ 
curacy,  and  are  sold  at  the  lowest  price  con¬ 
sistent  with  the  quality  of  the  mechanism. 

All  shafting  is  of  steel,  and  all  bearings  are 
fitted  with  steel  anti-friction  rollers  to  reduce 
friction,  the  machine  running  easily,  quickly 
and  smoothly.

AUTOMATIC  BRAKE 

DUMB  WAITER  OUTFIT 

Erected  in  Plastered  Well 

The  Illustration  on  opposite  page  shows  our 
Automatic  Brake  Dumb  Waiter  complete, 
for  light  service,  properly  erected  in  a  well 
finished  with  lath  and  plaster. 

For  heavier  work  see  pages  18  and  19. 

The  door  openings  should  be  at  least  as  wide 
as  the  car  and  4  feet  high;  the  sills  2  feet  6 
inches  above  the  floor;  the  doors  may  be  hinged 
or  hung  like  a  sash  to  run  either  up  or  down. 

There  should  also  be  a  door  or  panel  at  the 
top  for  access  to  the  Machine. 

Horizontal  Cats,  or  Bridging,  should  be 
placed  between  the  vertical  studs,  on  30-inch 
centers,  to  which  the  guide  runs  are  secured  by 
long  screws  passing  through  the  lath  and  plaster. 

An  opening  large  enough  to  admit  the  Car 
should  be  left  at  one  floor  until  Dumb  Waiter 
is  erected. 

In  many  cases  it  is  preferred  to  ceil  the  well 
with  wood  as  shown  on  page  14. 

If  well  is  of  fire-proof  material  or  has  been 
finished  without  the  bridging  it  may  be  neces¬ 
sary  to  put  cleating  on  the  face  of  the  plaster, 
to  which  the  runs  shall  be  secured. 

This  cleating  may  be  horizontal  and  nailed  to 
the  studs,  or  vertical,  back  of  the  runs,  if  proper 
fastening  can  be  had. 

The  Runs  are  always  to  be  secured  with 
Screws,  never  nailed.

SIMPLEX 

DUMB  WAITER  OUTFIT 

Erected  in  Ceiled  Well 

The  Simplex  Dumb  Waiter  properly  erected 
in  ceiled  well  is  shown  opposite. 

The  well  is  ceiled  both  inside  and  out. 
The  inside  ceiling  can  be  dispensed  with,  if 
necessary  to  save  expense,  in  which  event  the 
runs  are  screwed  to  the  frame  work. 

The  Simplex  meets  all  the  demands  for  a 
good,  serviceable  Dumb  Waiter  for  light  service. 
It  is  simple,  strong,  economical,  easy  running, 
rapid  in  action,  and  suitable  for  any  height. 

For  heavier  work  see  pages  18  and  19. 

The  Car  is  held  at  any  floor  by  a  Spring 
Check  acting  on  the  hand  rope,  which  is  operated 
by  a  cord  running  from  top  to  bottom  of  well. 

The  Simplex  is  especially  designed  for  cus¬ 
tomers  who  wish  to  purchase  the  machine  only, 
supplying  the  other  parts  themselves. 

The  Outfit  complete  is  designed  for  dwellings 
of  moderate  cost  where  there  are  few,  if  any, 
servants,  and  where  a  reasonable  amount  of  care 
may  be  expected  in  the  use  of  a  Dumb  Waiter. 

The  Simplex  will  prove  more  satisfactory 
ordinarily,  and  more  durable  always,  than  a 
cheap  Automatic  Lock  Machine. 

Each  Machine  is  carefully  packed,  complete, 
with  full  directions  for  erecting.

GEARED 

DUMB  WAITER  OUTFITS 

*The  Sedgwick  Geared  Dumb  Waiters,  illus¬ 
trated  on  page  18,  are  designed  for  heavier 
service  than  the  Dumb  Waiters  described  on 
pages  6  to  16,  and  are  especially  desirable  in 
Hospitals,  Hotels,  Restaurants  and  Commercial 
Establishments,  where  loads  exceeding  twenty- 
five  pounds  are  regularly  handled. 

These  Outfits  will  give  good  results  with 
occasional  or  test  loads  up  to  two  hundred 
pounds. 

In  these  geared  machines,  the  hand  wheel  and 
the  lift  wheel  are  on  separate  shafts,  which  are 
mounted  in  substantial  iron  frames,  with  anti¬ 
friction  steel  bearings,  and  the  motion  of  the 
hand  wheel  is  transmitted  to  the  lift  wheel 
through  a  pair  of  carefully  designed  iron  gears. 

By  means  of  these  gears  we  can  increase  the 
ratio  so  that  each  pound  of  pull  on  the  hand 
rope  will  raise  from  4  to  10  pounds,  depending 
upon  the  gears  used,  the  size  of  the  hand 
wheel,  etc. 

We  have  these  gears  in  different  sizes  so  that 
we  are  in  a  position  to  furnish  very  rapid  run¬ 
ning  dumb  waiters  for  light  loads,  and  easy  run¬ 
ning  dumb  waiters  for  heavier  loads. 

Cars  are  made  from  selected  Ash  Lumber. 
These  Cars  are  of  special  design  and  construc¬ 
tion  to  secure  minimum  weight  and  maximum 
strength.

TUBE  DUMB  WAITERS 

'Tube  Dumb  Waiters  differ  from  our  regular 
*  outfits  chiefly  in  that  Tubes  are  used  as 
guides  for  car  and  counter-weight  in  place  of 
wood  or  steel  guide  runs. 

The  Tubes  may  be  of  Brass  or  Steel  as  pre¬ 
ferred. 

Tube  Dumb  Waiters  are  popular  where  the 
outfit  is  not  enclosed  and  where  an  attractive 
appearance  is  desired. 

Any  Sedgwick  Outfit,  for  any  purpose,  may 
be  arranged  with  Tube  Guides,  and  the  nature 
of  the  work  should  govern  the  selection  of  the 
outfit. 

Cars  may  be  of  wood,  steel  or  brass. 

The  outfit  shown  opposite  is  designed  for 
light,  rapid  service. 

Special  Tube  Dumb  Waiter  Circular  showing 
various  types  of  machines,  prices,  etc.,  will  be

MOTTO 

The  profit  in  any  sale  is  of  less

HIGH  SPEED  DUMB  WAITERS 

T*his  is  a  small,  rapid-running  Dumb  Waiter, 
designed  for  light  loads,  such  as  messages, 
newspaper  copy,  orders,  bills,  etc.  It  is  suit¬ 
able  for  any  height. 

Wire  guides  for  car  and  weight,  together 
with  our  special  Oilless  Bearings,  make  this 
outfit  very  light  running  and  practically  noise¬ 
less. 

Outfit  consists  of  Car,  Two  Stand  Sheaves, 
with  Rubber  Bumpers  and  Platforms,  Wire 
Guides,  Turnbuckles  and  Fittings. 

The  entire  outfit  can  be  erected  in  an  hour, 
requiring  eight  wood  screws,  four  to  secure 
each  platform. 

Car  regularly  furnished,  10"  wide,  6"  deep, 
17"  high.  (Carried  in  stock.) 

Space  required  18"  x  83^2^  • 

Special  sizes  will  be  furnished  when  desired 
at  increased  prices. 

As  showing  the  wide  variety  of  uses  to  which 
this  outfit  may  be  put,  it  may  be  stated  that 
while  many  of  them  run  from  one  floor  to  the 
next  only,  there  are  many  which  run  more  than 
one  hundred  feet  in  two  to  three  seconds. 

Sometimes  two  cars  are  used,  one  balancing 
the  other.  This  arrangement  is  advantageous 
when  service  is  between  two  points  only,  as 
there  is  always  a  car  at  each  terminal  ready  for 
use.

DUMB  WAITER  OUTFITS 

TThis  is  a  term  we  have  adopted  to  distinguish 
outfits  designed  for  use  where  there  is  in¬ 
sufficient  space  overhead  for  the  machine. 

The  Sedgwick  Line  of  Under  Counter  Dumb 
Waiters  covers  every  condition  where  there  is 
no  room  for  the  machine  overhead,  so  that 
whatever  the  conditions  and  requirements, 
some  one  of  these  outfits  may  be  selected  which 
will  best  do  the  work.

OUR  AIM 

Believing  that  the  Best  Hand 
Power  Elevator  or  Dumb  Waiter 
is  none  too  good,  and  that  the 
Best  is  the  Cheapest — in  the 
end,  and  that  the  Best  is  the 
most  satisfactory  always,  we 
aim  to  build  the  Best  in  Design, 
Workmanship,  and  Materials,

ICELESS  REFRIGERATORS 

T*he  term  “Iceless  Refrigerator’’  is  used  to 
*  describe  an  arrangement  for  the  preser¬ 
vation  of  food  without  the  expense,  trouble 
and  annoyance  of  ice. 

In  most  homes  the  cellar  is  sufficiently  cool  to 
preserve  the  supplies  of  food  which  are  carried 
over  from  one  meal  to  another,  and  these  cool 
cellars  were  the  only  means  which  our  parents 
had  in  many  cases  for  the  preservation  of  such 
food. 

Once  in  a  while  someone  was  fortunate  enough 
to  have  a  very  cool  well  or  spring  of  pure  water, 
and  the  food  would  be  placed  in  a  vessel  and 
lowered  into  this  well. 

Nowadays,  however,  the  effort  required  to 
run  up  and  down  stairs  to  carry  the  food  down 
after  meals  and  to  bring  it  up  again  when 
wanted  is  correctly  assumed  to  involve  a  greater 
expenditure  of  effort  than  the  cost  of  ice  justifies, 
and  therefore  many  people  resort  to  the  use  of 
the  ordinary  refrigerator. 

The  use  of  the  Iceless  Refrigerator,  or  in  other 
words,  a  Sedgwick  Automatic  Brake  Dumb 
Waiter,  as  a  cabinet  in  which  the  food  may  be 
placed  and  then  lowered  either  into  the  cool 
cellar  or,  if  the  cellar  be  not  sufficiently  cool, 
into  a  prepared  well  or  pit  beneath  the  cellar 
floor  is  becoming  more  and  more  general  because 
a  good  dumb  waiter  costs  but  little  more  than  a 
good  refrigerator  and  the  saving  over  the  use  of 
ice  is  likely  to  pay  for  the  dumb  waiter  in  a 
season  or  two. 

The  only  difference  between  one  of  the  regu¬ 
lar  Sedgwick  Dumb  Waiter  Outfits  and  such  an 
outfit  designed  to  be  used  as  an  Iceless  Refrig¬ 
erator  is  the  furnishing  of  a  heavier  counter-

BOOK  LIFTS 

Banks,  Insurance  Companies,  Libraries  and 
Commercial  Establishments  have  found 
the  Sedgwick  Dumb  Waiters  valuable  labor 
saving  equipment  when  used  as  book  lifts. 

The  regular  construction  is  used  where  en¬ 
closures  are  necessary,  the  brass  and  steel  tube 
dumb  waiters  being  selected  where  open  con¬ 
struction  is  preferred. 

Sedgwick  Book  Lifts  are  built  in  all  capacities 
and  types  suitable  for  every  requirement. 

Specify  load  to  be  carried,  normal  and 
maximum,  and  size  of  car  required. 


weight  which  shall  weigh  enough  to  balance 
both  the  car  and  the  average  weight  of  food  and 
dishes  to  be  kept  in  it. 

In  ordering,  therefore,  it  is  well  to  state  what 
the  estimated  weight  of  the  usual  load  will  be  so 
that  a  sufficient  amount  of  extra  counterweight 
may  be  furnished  with  the  outfit,  for  which 
there  is  a  small  additional  charge. 

The  special  advantage  of  the  Sedgwick  Auto¬ 
matic  Brake  Dumb  Waiter  Outfit  for  this 
purpose  is  found  in  the  fact  that  the  Sedgwick 
machine  is  automatic  and  effective  in  both  direc¬ 
tions. 

If  the  loaded  car  should  be  heavier  than  the 
counterweight,  the  automatic  brake  prevents 
the  car  running  down. 

If  on  the  other  hand  so  much  of  the  load  be 
removed  that  the  car  is  lighter  than  the  counter¬ 
weight,  again  the  automatic  brake  prevents  the 
car  running  up. 

So  whatever  the  conditions,  no  accident  can 
happen.

FUEL  LIFT 


If  You  Have  a  Fireplace  You  Need  This 


Sedgwick 


29 


FUEL  LIFTS 

Jn  all  ages,  the  fireplace  has  been  the  symbol 

of  home.  The  hearthstone  has  been  the 
center  of  the  home  life;  the  hearth  fire  has 
been  the  symbol  of  the  family  spirit. 

Most  people  appreciate  that  the  open  fire¬ 
place  is  one  of  home’s  most  inviting  features; 
and  rare  indeed  is  the  homebuilder  who  does 
not  insist  upon  at  least  one  open  fire  as  the  altar 
of  his  household  gods,  the  center  of  his  family 
life. 

Despite  this  traditional  longing  of  man  for  a 
fireside  of  his  own — and  despite  the  readiness 
of  architects  to  gratify  that  longing — it  is  a  fact 
that  most  fireplaces  lie  cold  and  dead,  lacking 
that  which  is  their  very  soul  and  their  only  justi¬ 
fication — the  fire  on  the  hearth. 

The  explanation  of  this  anomaly  is  simple.  It 
is  found  in  the  inconvenience  and  untidiness  of 
supplying  the  fuel  and  removing  the  ashes — two 
very  necessary  operations  which  nevertheless 
offend  the  sensibilities  alike  of  master  and 
mistress. 

The  Sedgwick  Fuel  Lift  solves  the  problem 
and  fills  a  long  felt  want.

HAND  ELEVATOR  MACHINES 


These  Machines  are  superior  in  principle, 
design,  construction  and  finish,  and  have 
every  improvement  suggested  and  approved  by 
long  experience. 

All  material  is  of  best  quality  and  the  highest 
standard  of  Machine  Work  and  fitting  is  main¬ 
tained. 

The  heavy  iron  frame,  with  strong  steel 
braces,  prevents  the  bearings  getting  out  of  line 
and  keeps  gears  properly  in  mesh.  All  shafting 
is  of  steel,  the  gears  are  of  ample  size  and 
strength,  and  all  bearings  are  fitted  with  steel 
anti-friction  rollers. 

With  our  improved  Band  Brake  and  “Locking 
Device,”  the  Machine  is  under  perfect  control

(by  means  of  a  Brake  Line)  from  all  floors  and 
from  the  Car.  A  slight  pull  on  Brake  Line 
partially  applies  the  Brake  and  controls  speed 
of  car  in  lowering.  A  final  pull  locks  the 
Brake  and  the  outfit  cannot  move  or  be  moved 
until  the  operator  releases  the  Brake  by  pulling 
up  on  the  Brake  Line.  The  Brake  Band  is 
lined  with  Vulcanized  Fibre  and  is  practically 
indestructible. 

The  two  hoist  wheels,  as  shown  in  cut  on 
page  30,  allow  the  use  of  separate  hoist  cables, 
thus  dividing  the  load,  and  one  acting  as  a 
safety  for  the  other.  This  is  the  safest  arrange¬ 
ment  known. 

With  the  larger  sizes  are  furnished  two  Lift 
Wheels  as  shown  in  cut,  or  scored  Iron  Drum, 
as  may  be  best  suited  to  the  work  to  be  per¬ 
formed. 

As  illustrated,  this  Elevator  complete  is  in  use 
in  many  stores  and  factories  for  handling 
freight,  also  in  private  houses  and  hotels  for 
Trunk  Lifts. 

So  far  as  we  know  every  Sedgwick  Hand 
Power  Freight  Elevator  ever  built  is  still  giving 
satisfactory  service,  except  those  destroyed  by 
fire. 

Estimates  on  any  of  these  outfits  installed 
complete,  ready  for  use,  will  be  furnished  upon

from  a  customer  who  said  that  his  five  year 
old  boy  had  a  lot  of  fun  being  the  “Elevator

Another  customer  wrote  that  the  invalid’s 
three  year  old  daughter,  who  weighed  thirty- 
two  pounds,  operated  the  elevator  and  took 
her  mother  up  and  down  without  undue  exer¬ 
tion. 

All  Sedgwick  Outfits  are  good  but  none  have 
inspired  our  enthusiasm  to  the  extent  that  these 
Invalid  Elevators  have,  because  there  is  no 
other  outfit  in  the  market  like  them,  and  be¬ 
cause  of  the  many  letters  of  appreciation  and 
gratitude  we  have  received  from  those  who 
have  them.

and  counterweight  are  at  one  side  only  and  are 
frequently  desirable  where  door  openings  must 
be  located  at  adjacent  sides  of  the  enclosure; 
and  in  locations  where  there  is  to  be  enclosure 
and  where  posts  and  guide  runs  at  more  than 
one  side  would  be  objectionable  or  impossible.

Lumber  for  Posts,  Overhead  Timbers,  and  Bolts, 
Screws,  and  nails  required  in  erecting  are  not  in¬ 
cluded  in  the  outfit  itself,  but  will  be  included  where

and  a  slight  pressure  on  the  Brake  Lever  con¬ 
trols  the  speed.  A  final  movement  of  the

stationary  at  any  point  desired.

without  coming  in  contact  with  surrounding  walls  or  the 
hatch  combing,  and  when  the  cans  are  above  the  side¬ 
walk  level  the  Crane  may  be  swung  around  so  as  to 
deposit  them  upon  the  sidewalk.

GRIP  HOISTS 

The  Sedgwick  Grip  Hoists  illustrated  opposite 
*  are  positive  in  their  action  and  afford  an 
inexpensive  means  of  using  power  for  lifting 
loads  with  Hand  Power  Elevators. 

The  Gripping  Sheaves  “C”  and  “D”  clear  the 
Hand  Rope  when  not  in  use  and  by  means  of. 
the  control  rope  are  forced  against  the  Hand 
Rope,  thus  lifting  the  load. 

When  car  reaches  the  desired  level,  release 
the  control  rope  and  apply  the  brake. 

In  lowering  power  is  not  used,  simply  release 
the  brake  and  control  the  speed. 

Upon  installing  the  Grip  Hoist  some  prefer 
to  reduce  the  Counterweight  sufficiently  that 
even  the  empty  car  will  descend  upon  the 
release  of  the  brake. 

The  Universal  is  run  by  two  belts  (one 
straight,  the  other  crossed). 

The  Differential  has  cut  gears  of  highest 
quality,  insuring  smooth  running  and  is  run  by 
a  single  belt. 

Both  are  carried  in  stock  in  two  sizes:  No.  1 
will  lift  2000  pounds  test  load  on  a  good  ele¬ 
vator;  No.  2,  3000  pounds. 

These  Grip  Hoists  may  be  located  on  floor, 
ceiling  or  joist  work. 

Not  sold  for  Passenger  Elevators,  only  for 
hoisting  goods.

HOSPITAL  ELEVATORS 


We  have  made  a  special  study  of  the  problems 
involved  in  the  design,  manufacture  and  in¬ 
stallations  of  Hand  Power  Elevators  and  Dumb 
Waiters  for  Hospitals. 

If  Architects  and  Hospital  Authorities  requiring 
Hand  Power  Outfits  will  consult  us,  we  can  furnish 
outfits  which,  because  they  are  designed  especially  for 
the  purpose,  may  be  expected  to  give  satisfactory 
service. 

GRAVITY  LIFTS 


This  is  a  term  adopted  to  distinguish  outfits 
designed  for  use  where  the  loads  are  uniformly 
down. 

The  Sedgwick  Machine  Works  has  installed  such 
outfits  for  the  National  Biscuit  Co.,  the  American 
Sugar  Refining  Co.,  The  Kirkman  Soap  Co.,  The 
Tiffin  Products  Co.,  and  many  other  firms,  which 
because  they  were  designed  to  suit  the  general  scheme 
for  handling  their  materials,  give  more  satisfactory 
results  than  would  anything  else. 


TRUNK  LIFTS 

A  Fine  Dwelling  is  not  complete  without  a  Sedgwick 
Trunk  Lift. 

These  outfits  are  easy  running  freight  type  ele¬ 
vators  (see  page  32),  usually  preferred  with  plat¬ 
forms  slatted  on  sides  and  back,  should  be  made  about 
four  feet  square  to  be  useful  for  carrying  furniture  from 
one  floor  to  another  when  necessary. 

Sedgwick  Trunk  Lifts  prevent  baggage,  furniture, 
etc.,  from  marring  walls  and  woodwork  of  residences 
when  being  taken  up  and  down  stairs  and  usually 
allow  one  person  in  place  of  two  to  transfer  such 
material.
